dying shrek, and is poWerless to raise her

surprising how little of this is known, but

Several years ago the old Atlas works became
insolvent. and ceased to do business A new
company bought the ground on which the works
were located, and began operations under the
name of the Atlas Engine Works. There has
never been any connection between the two
companies and the latter, since its organization,
has been prosperous company. The affairs of
the old Atlas company have never been settled,
and in order that the creditors may secure what

THINGS THAT ARE HEARD AND SEEN.
Bits of Information Gathered During the
Daily Saunter Of Journal Reporter.

ut is the most perfect public building in
America" said An Eastern architect while speak
ing about the State-house yesterday, land is
compliment to the men who constructed it. The
work has been done with the most minute care
and detail and is perfect in all its parts, while its
finish. inside and out, is excelled by no public
building In my knowledge, and is certainly not
equalled anywhere as to cost" The contractors,
Howard & Denig lost heavily on their bid.
When they were unable to proceed with the
work on account of the increase in price of labor
and material, the sureties on their bond took up
the work and carried out the contract without
loss to the State and no profit to themselves. 1t
is a cheap building to the State. but it has been
dsastrously costly to some of the men who have
tried to build it.
"You would be surprised to know how many
women in Indianapolis frequent Saloons said
roundsman to Journal reporter yesterday.
''They are not all of the degraded class, either.
There are great many women who move in ex-
cellent society circles who secretly visit the
wlne-rooms OF fine saloons about the city. The
saloons frequented are not those in the heart OF
the city, but the ones on the outskirts OF town.
They drink for their health they express 1t.
and always claim that they act on the suggestion
of their physician"
There is a strange fear among some of the
more ignorant colored people up in Bucktown
that they are in danger Of being kidnapped by
the medical colleges as subjects for the dissect-
inc-table. Some of them never venture out af-
ter night without being armed with heavy
club. There is, also, story connected with the
clubs they carry that is interesting Every
club bears the number ''69." They thus
numbered because in 1869 there was riot be-
tween the negroes of Bucktown and the Irish OF
Sleigho, in which the former fought with clubs.
The clubs. won the day. and since that time the
colored people have stood by the clubs Of 49,"
The most industrious people in the city are
the Cinnamon. When they rest is unknown to
people who take an interest in them. They can
nearly always be found at work at or o'clock
in the morning, and they are up again at or Z.
It is said by those who are familiar with their
habits that they never sleep more than three
hours day. They never trust their savings in
the banks, and horde their money about their
| places of business. There is not one in the city
who does not intend to return to his native land.
| Of the number in the city nearly half have
wives back in China waiting for their return
with fortune

1.-THE special finding in this case is rendered
so indefinite and uncertain by its omission to
find any of the facts, and by injecting into 1t
certain items of evidence, instead of ultimate
facts that it is incapable of supporting any con-
illusions of law, or Of forming the basis of any

al. Shelby G. c. Affirmed. Elliott, Jap
pellees filed an amended complaint after the ap-
pelant had filed answers, and it is asserted that
they took from the record the answers because
they were not afterward relied. Appellee tried
the upon the theory that the answers were
addressed to the complaint as amended, and by
that theory they are bound. ca A demurrer
to answers that neither of said para
graphs state facts sufficient to consti
tute a defense to plaintiffs complaint
is sufficient without objection 49, A judgment
in replevn is conclusive to all the questions
litigated that might have been litgated under
the issues, and one of these was the question of
ownership we'll as that of the right of posses
sion. This the complaint affirmatively shows.
"a. Where evidence in mitigation is admissible
under paragraphs left standing an error in sus-
tanning demurrer TO another paragraph blend
ing facts in mitigation of damages is harmless.

Railroad LEGISLATION in Texas.

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. g. Representative Gresh-,
am, of Galveston, yesterday introduced in the
House the most important measure now before
the Legislature. The bill amends existing laws
so as to require railroad companies to post up
at their depots schedules of changes. printed in
large type, and prohibits changes without
notice 1t also provides that the New Orleans
Railroad Company shall not charge greater
rate per ton per mile for the transportation of
freight in carload lots, from any point in the
State to any other point in the State, than is
charged received by said company for the
transporting in the same direction, on the same
kind or class of freight, per ton per mile. from
any part beyond the limits of Texas The bill is
evidently intended to cooperate with the inter
state commerce act.
